Let's start with some wide receivers. 24 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: Debro start us off with a wide receiver that could 25 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: be breaking out in twenty twenty five. 26 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: We always talk about a guy's invest in talented second 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: year wide receivers, and I'm gonna do it there with 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: a guy that I fully believe in. If we take 29 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: the narratives out of it, it's do you want to 30 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: draft a former first round wide receiver that flashed in 31 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: his rookie season down the back half of it? Of 32 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: course you do. So it's Ricky Piersow baby, final two 33 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: weeks of the regular season, who's wide receiver? Seven wide 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 2: receiver fourteen fully believed? That was the forty nine Ers 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: giving him an audition and saying can you be the 36 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: guy we need you to be in twenty twenty five? 37 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: And Ricky p answered the bell, baby, So I want 38 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: to draft him everywhere. 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: I have a question for you currently on the half 40 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: PPR rankings, when you look at where Pearsaw's going I 41 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: understand liking his return on investment better than say, you know, 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: even guys on his own team, right I Yuke with 43 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: his health and Juwan Jennings who has been really productive, 44 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: but again it's taken a long time has career to 45 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: be that kind of guy. Pearsol is the forty six 46 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: wide receiver, but ahead of him are guys like Deebo, Samuel, 47 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: Jayden Reid, even Stephan Diggs could even be the number 48 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: one in his offense. Would you take Pearsaw over those guys, 49 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: especially a guy like Digs who could even be his 50 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: own number one on his team. 51 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: I think him versus Diggs is a very interesting conversation 52 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: where I lean slightly with Pearsall if he's good to go, 53 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: man like, we don't know what we're getting out of 54 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: him this year Stefan Diggs. I mean similar kind of case. 55 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: I mean coming out to ACL when is he going 56 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 2: to be one hundred percent? Does anybody else step up? 57 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: What do we see out of Drake may in this offense? 58 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: In years? 59 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: Does he have any more boat trips scheduled? 60 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: I think two hope not well at least look if 61 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: he's on the boat, just turn the cameras off. 62 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: Just dont videotape stuff. Please. What are guys gonna learn 63 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: about the boat? No pictures on the boat, No cameras 64 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: on the boat. It doesn't matter if it's the Giants, 65 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings, Stephan Diggs. Just no boat stuff, guys, just boats, 66 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: boat's boats. No, no, no, Scott Boggling, give me a 67 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver that you think uh could be headed towards 68 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: breakouts in twenty twenty five. 69 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: By the way, I'll take Piersoll over all those guys. Okay, Look, 70 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: I just to me, I think uh In Piercehall is 71 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: the guy who I would have taken here. But Deebro 72 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 3: again got to the sheet first. Hebro is just like 73 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: They're like, hey, we're doing this show. He's like, here's 74 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: my guy. 75 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Helped out man. I'm like, good to me, Yeah. 76 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 3: To me, thank you, Joey, thank you, thanks he brou 77 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: But look, no, but Ricky Piersall, I think it's everything 78 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: that that Deebro just said, right, it's the fact that 79 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 3: we don't know what we're getting from AU coming back. 80 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: I think Pierceall's already better than Jennings, and I think 81 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: Jennings is way underrated, right, like, I know Welsh loves him, 82 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: and Jennings could easily outpace Ricky Pearsall. That's something that 83 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: could happen. It's within the realman possibility. Obviously, I see 84 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: mc coming back, you have Kittle coming back, but like 85 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: there's a lot of ifs there, and Ricky Pearsol is 86 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 3: just healthy, good to go, ready to rock. First round pick. 87 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm excited about Ricky as well. But my 88 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: pick here is Keon Coleman, and I have loved Keon 89 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: Coleman since last season. Down year last year, we know 90 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: McDermott is kind of tough on rookies. Probably need from 91 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: this guy his more targets. There were eighty four wide 92 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: receivers with at least fifty targets last season, and Coleman 93 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 3: was third in yards per catch nineteen point two yards 94 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: per catch. He was fifth in a dot average sept 95 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 3: the target fifteen and a half, behind only Alec Pierce 96 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 3: and Christian Watson. His line last season fifty seven targets, 97 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 3: twenty nine catches, five hundred fifty six yards and four touchdowns. 98 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: Let's just double those receptions, right, I mean, Matt Collins 99 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: has gone. They did at Palmer, but Coleman's going to 100 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: step up. We know McDermott puts the rookies through the ringer. 101 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: We know that he had the wrist injury after week 102 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: nine with the chip in his wrist as well. He 103 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 3: missed a couple of weeks and then came back at 104 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: the end. This is a guy that isn't you know. 105 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: He's good with the ball in his hands as well. 106 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 3: Eighth and yak as well. This dude just needs more 107 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: targets and that is it. He's playing with one of 108 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: the higher paced offenses in the league, with one of 109 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: the best quarterbacks, the guy coming off the ragning MVP, right, 110 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: So I just think there's so much meat on the 111 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 3: bone there for Coleman. He's going so late in drafts. 112 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: I will be taking him. 113 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: Everywhere, all right, before we get to the next two 114 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: names on our list here at the running back position, 115 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: don't forget keep the conversation going on our discord fantasypros 116 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: dot Com slash chat.

We just finished. Quinn Shawn 130 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: Judkins of the Cleveland Browns looks to be the lead 131 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: back now in Cleveland. 132 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been vocal Samson in the Sleeper Show, dart 133 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: throw shows, you know, think guys that are getting overlooked, 134 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: stuff like that. But let's not forget about Judkins. He's 135 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: worked well with another back. He showed that last season 136 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: at Ohio State when he worked with Trevion Henderson very well. 137 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: He's carried the full worklod two hundred and eight and 138 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 3: nine touches as a freshman at Ole Miss. He's crazy explosive. 139 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: He was tenth in breakaway percentage last season. He only 140 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: had three fumbles. On seven hundred and thirty nine attempts 141 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: in college, and he is going to be the face 142 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: of a changing and evolving Browns offense. Stefanski loves to 143 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: run the football, right. We know that they had to 144 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: pass the ball so much because they were so miserable 145 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: last year. They're playing from behind all the time. What 146 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: they want to do, specifically with Flacco and the group 147 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 3: of young quarterbacks, they're trying to pick through to find 148 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: a real quarterback. Right. They want to run the football 149 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: and play defense. That is the name of the game 150 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: this season. If you're the Cleveland Browns, Nick Chubb is gone. 151 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: Drome Ford is kind of a jag like. I think 152 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: he's good. I think behind a good offensive line, he's good. 153 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: I think behind a bad offensive line, he's bad. Jerome 154 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: Ford is as good as the players around him. When 155 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: Shawn Judkins is just a good player. So I'm really 156 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: excited to see him carry the workload. His ECR is 157 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: currently I believe running back twenty eight. I only have 158 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 3: him one spot higher at twenty seven. But there's a 159 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: lot of depth at running back. This class is huge, 160 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: and Judkins kind of gets lost in the shuffle behind 161 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: a couple of other guys. 162 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: All right, de bro, let's talk about a running back 163 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: that you selected for your breakout potentially, and it's Caleb 164 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: Johnson of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I love this selection for 165 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: the Steelers and the draft. When you're watching the draft 166 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: here on Fantasy pros, I was very excited about this 167 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: selection for the Steelers. I thought it was the perfect fit, 168 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: and clearly you do as well. 169 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: Perfect marriage of talent and scheme. I love Caleb Johnson. 170 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: He's ranked as an RB three on Fantasy pross are 171 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: right now, he should be a top twenty four running back. 172 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean the volume, the opportunity, the talent. Talking about 173 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: Stears offense, that was fourth in rushing attempts, and I 174 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: think that changes some with Aaron Rodgers, but there's still 175 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: going to be a run heavy team. I don't think 176 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: they're going to come out here and throw the ball 177 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: at a top three clip. They don't know the weapons 178 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: to do that. We saw Naji Harris soak up two 179 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety nine freaking touches last year's guys like 180 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: that was tenth most amongst running backs. So even if 181 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: we nerve Caleb into the two fifty range, that's still 182 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: top twenty amongst running backs. And then you add that 183 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: with that Naji Harris volume. Caleb has something in his 184 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: skill set that Naji has never had, and that's the 185 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 2: ability to break off big plays. You add that plus 186 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: the volume. Yes, Caleb Johnson can win leagues in twenty 187 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: twenty five. 188 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: All right, So we talked about two second year wide receivers, 189 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: two rookie running backs, and now it's time to look 190 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: at some quarterbacks here. And these are two guys who 191 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: were drafted two years ago. One played, one did not. 192 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: See. 193 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: If you can guess who we're going to talk about here, 194 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: let's start with your guy, who is the did not debro, 195 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. And I think if Sam Darnold can get 196 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: dropped into the vikings and look as good as he did, 197 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: then I'm I'm very confident that JJ McCarthy can do 198 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: the same. And it seems like you are as well. 199 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: So what are your expectations, especially for the fact he 200 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: didn't play it all last year because of that knee injury? 201 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: Is their rust? Are we worried about a slow start 202 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: or worried about, you know, maybe what he's trying to 203 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: figure out the pace of the NFL. Or does he 204 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: just hit the ground running right away? 205 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: Hit the ground running. How many different quarterbacks do we 206 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: have to see succeed in this COC system. You could 207 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 2: talk about three cousins, Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens. All these 208 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: different guys have put up points, fantasy points when they've 209 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: been under center. Sam fricking Donald, Yes, that's Sam Darnald. 210 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: I mean he was QB eight in weeks one through seventeen. 211 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: Do we not think that JJ can equal that? Hell, 212 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: if not outproduce it this year. So in a pass 213 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 2: happy offense, they're gonna throw it a top five clip. 214 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: The offensive line has been improved. He still has one 215 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: of the best skill set cupboards to sit here and 216 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: pick from all year. JJ McCarthy is a QB one. 217 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: He's breaking out in twenty twenty five. 218 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: Now, Boggs, there's a lot of breakout room here for 219 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: guys like Drake may and I think a lot of 220 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: people are looking at justin fields this year. You're looking 221 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: elsewhere though, to Caleb Williams, who now has Ben Johnson 222 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: as his new head coach, and certainly anything would be 223 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: an upgrade. But this is a significant upgrade in terms 224 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: of offensive mind. However, there was still a lot of 225 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: warts in terms of Caleb Williams game last year, holding 226 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: the ball too long, trying to do too much, trying 227 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: to run backwards for thirty yards, trying to make a play, 228 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: which we saw a lot of in his last year 229 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: at USC as well. But let's talk about what we 230 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: could see ahead instead in twenty twenty five for Caleb 231 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: Williams with the Bears. 232 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think we're getting a little bit 233 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 3: of the over correction from last season. Right is where 234 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: people drafted this guy high. He went super high. He 235 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: had all the buzz for a couple of seasons as well, 236 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: and then he came and kind of fell flat on 237 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: his face, right like Jane Daniels outproduced him. Was the top. 238 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 3: Everything we thought we were going to get from Caleb 239 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: we got from Jade Daniels, Right, So I understand that. 240 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: But the skill is still in there, And yes, he 241 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: had all kinds of problems last season, but we heard 242 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: him speak about this, like Ibra Flusen. The offensive coaching 243 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 3: staff was just not meeting him. They weren't going over 244 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 3: film with him, they weren't there to help him at all. 245 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: Now he gets one of the best offensive minds in 246 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: the game. And Ben Johnson. You get a second year 247 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 3: of Roma Dunes. Hey, you already have DJ Moore, you 248 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: had a good tight end in Comet. And they go 249 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: out and get the first tight end selected in the 250 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: draft and they take Luther Burden, a five star recruit 251 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 3: from Missouri who had a down year at Missouri last year. 252 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: But it's like a bigger debo with the ball in 253 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: his hands. There are skill positions all over this team. 254 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: This team is ready to go. I think a normal 255 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 3: quarterback could be a good producer with this offense. But 256 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is not a normal quarterback. This is a 257 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: guy that ran for almost five hundred yards last season 258 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 3: and didn't score a touchdown, right like that is going 259 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 3: to change. He scored II think eleven two years ago 260 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: or three years ago USC ten. His final year at 261 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 3: US he scored none as a rookie. That's going to 262 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: change as well. There's just so much meat on the 263 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 3: bone here for kid Williams to grow. He's currently at thirteen. 264 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: I think he's a great like first QB to take 265 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: or your highest QB two. That's where I have him. 266 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: I also have a thirteen or something like that. Yeah, 267 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: I just drafted him in the draft that we did 268 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: because no quarterbacks are going I got him in the 269 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 3: second to last round and like Trevor Lawrence and c. J. 270 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: Stroud and Jordan Lover on the wire in that league. 271 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 3: So just take the upside, man, That's what I say. 272 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 3: If you're drafting a quarterback late or if you're in 273 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 3: a super flex, take this upside. 274 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: There. You go a lot of upside here with these 275 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: breakout selections.
